I've just spotted this on the Game website. Everywhere else seems to be listing this from £55 upwards (Amazon, Zavvi, Argos, CCL etc...)
It's not going to be the be all and end all of video gaming, but I reckon this is a tidy little device, if not just for the kids.
It comes complete with the game pad (£7.99 separately on Game), 1 month's Gamefly streaming (usually £7.96 a month) and it also comes with four Gameloft titles...
Asphalt 8: Airborne
GT Racing 2
Wonder Zoo
My Little Pony

It has the Google Play store on it, so I would assume so bud.

Latest play store version of Kodi requires Andriod 5.0& above. You'd need to find an older or modified build.

looks really good, Just ordered one! I have a ps3 that is just used for Amazon video, Netflix bbc news and the odd older game so I think this might just do the trick if not could probably sell it for more the £20

Reviews terribly but most of those at £100. Be interesting to see how it handles emulation.

If you're mainly looking to use it got Android apps then maybe an Android TV box would be better? This only has 1gb RAM
